'Expendables 3' Confirmed At AFM
The American Film Market is currently in full swing in Santa Monica, California. It's basically ground zero for movie deals; the American version of the Cannes Film Market in many ways. This is always a great event to watch if one is interested in movie news, as so many projects will be announced and/or confirmed. The latter certainly applies to a rumored upcoming second sequel to 'The Expendables.' It appears that Millennium Films has confirmed that they will be moving forward with 'The Expendables 3.' There had been talk previously about certain action legends whom producers were looking at for a potential third movie, but it was never a given that that third film would happen. Now it's gotten the official green light. In addition, Millennium Films announced that they are putting into production 'The Mechanic 2.' The first film, a remake of a classic Charles Bronson film, starred Jason Statham as a hitman mentoring a fledgling killer played by Ben Foster. No word yet on prospective release dates for either film.
It's beginning to look like Millennium's only concern is to squeeze every last ounce of life out of the film series designed to squeeze every last ounce of life out of its aging action titan cast. As much as I love the individual actors involved with the 'Expendables,' these films don't work for me. My biggest problem with them is their overwhelming reliance on computer-generated graphics, and awful computer-generated graphics at that. Given that these actors made names for themselves in the era of practical, or at least when the ratio of practical effects to CG was around 10-1, it makes no sense that the collaboration of those actors would use lame CG as a crutch. So no, I don't care that they're making another one. And as to 'The Mechanic 2,' I liked the first one just fine, and I say that as a fan of the Bronson movie. I found it to be an entertaining and well-paced action romp with just enough character work, and I didn't even have a problem with the fact that the Statham version changed the ending from the original. That said, there is no reason to make a sequel.
What do you guys think? Excited for 'Expendables 3?' How about 'The Mechanic 2?'

I'm more interested in the female version of the Expendables that supposedly in production with Gina Carano and Katee Sachoff.
I liked the first Expendables and I even enjoyed the second. But with that second movie I felt the "joke" had finally completely told. It was a fun ride but I'm interested in seeing maybe a different take on the subject matter.

They'll be 'CG'ing' in their old pulses, lines, and facial expressions, if this regrettable crap continues.

Rick McCoy--some excellent ideas in the face of this 'gruesome reality'...Sigourney...YES! While she still has the 'residuals' of hotness...the Rock...Mel Gibson--I agree, totally good ideas, even if one's perpetually busy, and the other, 'ditto', but crazy...I personally loved Owen in 'Shoot 'Em Up', no matter how much I hated his dumbass, stinking-hot, female costar...Danny Trejo--hellsya! Love 'im!
What about Bill Goldberg? I hated pretty much every wrestler in the WWF besides him and the Rock, so...take whatever from that.
I didn't even SEE 'Expendables 2' (my income just wasn't as 'expendable' as the characters in '1', even). So...I dunno...was Michelle Rodriguez in '2'? If not--she should have been...bad...hot...did I say 'hot'? Yup.
What's really gonna be 'tough' in this crappy series is 'creating a story line', and a damn script...and maybe tweaking the actors' meds so they can remember their pedantic, hack, lines. Has been so far.

The Mechanic was fun but I didn't think it made enough money to even consider a sequel. I really enjoyed Ex2 so I am looking forward to a third one.

Ok, who wrote this? your bitch reason for not being excited for Expendables3 is the CG? geez. Spill usually tends to be an advocate for story telling and fun. CG is your big "oh no, not another because of this" reason?? didnt see that coming. complain about the stories, or "dumb" action, or lack of female characters, SOMETHING! NOT THE CG IS LAME. geez

I actually liked the second one I found it to be much more better than the first and seriously people who hate this movie yet still like The Avengers are a bunch of hypocrites, seriously these movies aren't meant to be taken seriously and if you actually grew up in the 80's when these types of movies where the norm you'd totally understand what they where going for and that is stupid fun.

The last one was surprisingly fun. The 1st one was funny at 1st but saw it again and was instantly sick of it. Not sure about a 3rd but pretty much figured along with everyone else that a 3rd one is on the way. Then again...I rather see a sequel to this than PLENTY of other boring bullshit franchises. HUGE example is Clash of the Titans...STOP making those they SUCK. and tons of other useless action movies. ATLEAST this is more for nostalgia...not a lazy remake of 70's - 80's movies.

Bring it on. Who else could they add though? First off, bring in Bruce Campbell. That alone would be enough to get me in the theatre. Nic Cage maybe? No. I've never considered him an action type of star. And it's been years since Con Air. The Rock? He's doing Fast and Furious so he'd probably agree to do a one off on this. Throw in Vin Diesel too. And if they keep writing Jet Li out bring in someone like Donnie Yen or even Jackie Chan. Ray Stevenson? He's still not well known enough. Karl Urban would be a better fit. I'd suggest bringing in a woman or two but they're supposedly saving that for a female Expendables version. But a cameo by someone like Sigourney Weaver would be sweet. Vinnie Jones. Wesley Snipes. Kurt Russell. Mel Gibson. Antonio Banderas or Jean Reno? Clive Owen. L.L. Cool J. Carl Weathers. Mr. T. Sean Bean (he'd die in the first few minutes of course). Michael Biehn. Danny Trejo.. Michael Jai White. There's enough people out there looking for a gig that they could milk this franchise for years to come.

He'll be the one, then...in my deadpool, God forbid it, Clint will die on set, sitting in a chair that ironically looks like the 'Obama'-chair. It will be the most telling part of the entire movie set and series, and we'll all remember Clint for what he used to be before politics sullied his entire being (and that god-awful TV show).
